The national coal market has taken measures to stabilize the demand for increased summer peaks and coal enterprises

Since the beginning of summer, as temperatures continue to rise in various places, the country's daily electricity consumption has also set a historical record, and coal demand has entered a peak period
.

The reporter learned that in August, the downstream demand for coal increased significantly, and the coal market inventory declined significantly

Researchers told reporters that since July, the phenomenon of downstream end customers' inquiries for goods has increased significantly.

Especially in August, the increase in market demand has accelerated, and coal inventories in all links have been at historically low levels

Han Lei, Research Director of China Coal Market Network: The consumption data of end users in the entire eight coastal provinces has increased by more than 20% year-on-year
.

Due to the early stage of the railway being affected by heavy rains, the port transfer volume was low, coupled with the strong wind crossing the border, the entire northern port was closed, and the transfer of coal ships also suffered a short-term stagnation
.

At present, the coal inventory of Bohai Rim ports is at a historically low level, but the number of ships calling at anchorages continues to rise.
Affected by this, the spot price of thermal coal has begun to rise.
The spot price of coal in northern ports has reached a year-on-year high, reaching more than 1,050 yuan per ton.

China Coal Industry Association spokesperson Zhang Hong: In the first half of this year, the national coal consumption reached about 2.

1 billion tons, an increase of about 10% year-on-year.

July and August each year enter the peak of summer coal consumption in China, and the superposition of various factors has led to a tight supply in the coal market
.

In order to ensure the supply of coal this summer, the National Development and Reform Commission has formulated a coal reserve plan ahead of time

　　Shanxi is an important thermal coal production base in China.

In the Tashan Coal Mine of Jinneng Coal Industry Group, the person in charge of the company told reporters that their current production time has been adjusted from the previous single-shift production to full-day production

　　According to reports, the current average daily raw coal output of Jinneng Holdings Coal Industry Group has reached 920,000 tons, an average daily increase of 80,000 tons from last month
.

It is necessary to ensure the safe and efficient production of coal, but also to ensure the dispatchable reserve capacity

　　In order to improve the efficiency of loading ships, the company's port personnel coordinate the precise unloading of wagons and complete the goods, and at the same time coordinate the ships to call at the port in advance, so as to achieve fast loading and fast departure, and improve port turnover efficiency
.

In addition, they also implement differentiated management of power coal users, daily checking power users' inventory, daily consumption, etc.
, based on the principle of "one enterprise, one policy", and prioritize coal shipments for users with low inventories

　　The reporter learned from the China Coal Industry Association that in response to the recent tight demand for coal in Henan and other places, relevant departments have organized a special survey on coal supply and price stability, and actively urged coal companies to increase production and supply while ensuring safety.
In particular, priority should be given to ensuring the demand for thermal coal
.

　　In response to the recent tight demand for thermal coal in Henan and other places, relevant state departments have strengthened contact with major power plants, dynamically grasped the demand for supply, and coordinated with the National Energy Group, China Coal Group, Jinneng Holdings and other key coal companies to give priority to guaranteeing power coal in Henan Province.
Supply
.
In addition to Henan, the rain-affected Hebei and other areas and the Yangtze River Delta affected by the typhoon have also increased the power and coal supply to ensure that the power plant inventory is at a reasonable level
.

　　Zhang Hong, spokesperson of the China Coal Industry Association: These large modern coal mines have relatively large production flexibility and relatively high stability in safe production
.
We, the China Coal Industry Association, have also been actively advocating that large coal companies have the courage to assume social responsibilities, especially when dealing with extreme climate changes, increasing production and supply while ensuring safe production in coal mines to ensure market demand
.

　　It is understood that in the near future, the state will continue to strengthen the monitoring of coal supply and consumption in power plants across the country, coordinate and dispatch resources, further increase the intensity of power coal supply, and make every effort to meet the peak summer coal demand
